Bohol, The Philippines

“The Chocolate Hills of Bohol are hidden from view. From the city of Tagbilaran on the southern island of Bohol, it’s a two-hour drive deep into the jungle to find them.

“Once you arrive at a lookout in a town named Carmen, these very strange cone-shaped hills stretch for miles in every direction. There are more than 1,000 of them; some say nearly 1,800. They’re covered in grass that turns brown in the dry season, which is what gives them their name. It’s thought they were formed by the uplift of coral deposits long ago and the action of rainwater and erosion.

“This particular afternoon was humid and the late afternoon light mixed with smoke haze from fires in the villages below was beautiful.”
